The Impact of Virtual Care on Health-Related Quality of Life in Pediatric Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review.
Review in Adolescent health, medicine and therapeutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has escalated the utilization of virtual care platforms in pediatric diabetes mellitus. The impact of these interventions on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is unclear. Objective: This systematic review evaluated the impact of virtual care, including eHealth and mHealth modalities, when compared to in-person care, on HRQOL in children with diabetes. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, EMCare, PsycInfo, and Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses A&I, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases and registries were searched from database inception to October 2 Results: Thirteen studies were identified (12 randomized controlled trials, 1 cross-sectional study) involving 1566 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The supplemental virtual care interventions utilized either web- or mobile-based platforms for intervention implementation. No interventions were detrimental to HRQOL, and a few improved the short-term HRQOL. No interventions worsened glycemic control. Patients and family's satisfaction with virtual care was high, perceiving it to be equal to or better than in-person care. There was no evidence for the use of virtual care and its effect on HRQOL in pediatric type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Conclusion: Virtual care is associated with a stable or improved HRQOL and patient and family satisfaction in pediatric T1DM. Decision makers need to consider expanding virtual access to pediatric diabetes care that can improve equitable access to quality care across healthcare systems globally.
